Hello!
I’m weaning myself from Photoshop with Krita but still want a Photoshop format copy.
I started with a layered image and eventually went to “flatten image” to get it to Export in Photoshop but still no luck. I keep getting the “Your image contains one or more layers with a color model” etc. message.
The image is 16 bit Grayscale with the annoying “20% dot gain” option, all of which Photoshop supports.
Anybody know what’s going on?
Thanks!
Your image has a layer with different colour model than the document. In krita the layers can be in different colour model than that of the document. So you need to find that layer and convert only that layer to the matching colour model of the document. You can change the colour model of the single layer by selecting the layer and then go to Layer menu > Convert > Convert layer to color space. and change it to something that matches the colour model in the status bar.
I too have been hit by this issue, and when there are a lot of layers it becomes hard to find it. Earlier I used to convert the entire document to same colour space just by using the Image > Convert image color space. But this option has stopped working if the image is in the same colour space it ignore the offending layer. I will take some to report this later today. The option to force convert everything again or atleast check if there is an odd layer with different colour space and convert it.
Thanks, but like I said, my image doesn’t HAVE any layers.
It was “Flattened” and that flattened image is in the grayscale colorspace which Photoshop of course accepts.
Yet I’m still getting that color model warning.
Yes because that one layer in grayscale but your document may be in other color space. Can you select the sole layer and press F3 to bring up the layer properties dialog box and then take a screenshot of the entire krita window along with the layer properties dialog box? it will help me see if the layer properties shows different colour model than the documents. The documents colour model is shown in the status bar
Thank you - is this what you have in mind? (Sorry but I have a Macbook and F3 just expands all the windows.)
If you have only layer the document and the layer color match so there should not be any error while saving the psd file.
Thanks, but for some reason it still won’t work. I flattened the image and saved it as flattened before I attempted to Export as .psd.
I’m just wondering what I’m missing here.
It’s not a huge deal for me since I’m finally getting off Photoshop but maybe it’s something that needs repair in Krita.
Can you share the file by uploading it somewhere like Google drive. I can try to reproduce this issue on my machine . We need to report this as a bug
Aside from the buggy part of the problem, have you managed to export your file to PS?
If not, could you try to export to another format as a intermittent file, like .tif or something. Then open that in PS.
Would be interesting if that works, or do you get the same problem.
Hi! I’m still new to this, and I have a question. If doing these ”manipulations”, will the quality suffer a lot? Sorry if this is a silly question, just trying to understand better. Thanks!
There is not manipulation in what I said. This topic is not about manipulation.

Yeah, thanks – Exporting as as Tiff file works, so that’s helpful!
But still can’t Export to Photoshop. It doesn’t matter if I’ve chosen “Flatten Image” or “Flatten Layers”.
Unfortunately it doesn’t offer Tiff export with layers and it would be great if I could Export to Photoshop with layers, if I ever need to. The odd thing is I think I’ve exported a file that was set up similarly to Photoshop that had layers once before – I’m just starting with Krita so it was my first attempt.
Sure – here’s a link:
Hey, I think I’ve tracked down something that I hope helps.
The image that won’t export to Photoshop lists the colorspace with the annoying “Dot Gain 20%”. The image that WILL export lists it as “gray built-in”.
I’ve attached named PNG screenshots.
Well, scratch that suggestion. When I change the “Dot Gain” image to “gray built in” it STILL won’t export to Photoshop.
I tried your file, indeed yes it is weird. But I was able to somehow workaround it by copying the layer content to new blank file (same dot gain 20% color model) then converting the image colour space to builtin gray and then again converting it to dot gain 20% and then saving it as psd. I think I also converted it from 16 bit to 8 bit in between
Here is the psd file - linda.psd - Google Drive
However I think this is worth reporting as a bug on bugs.kde.org with the test file
OK, thank you.
Let me know and I’ll report it there if you haven’t already.
Yes please report it and share the link to the bug report
Sorry, but I’m not sure how. If I go to bugs.kde.org when I click “File a bug” it asks me for a password.
(Unfortunately) reporting bugs needs a separate account. You can create one here: Create a new KDE Bugtracking System account
